The death of a Kilmer Avenue man Friday night marked the seventh fatal heroin overdose of 2014, police said.

Police said the victim, 46-year-old John Roster, was already dead when they arrived at 65 Kilmer Ave. just before 8 p.m.

Additional details of Roster’s death were not immediately available.

Later that evening, police responded to 11 Everett St. for a report of a woman who had overdosed on heroin.

Police said paramedics on scene were able to revive her with the heroin antidote Narcan. She was taken to Morton Hospital for evaluation.

There have been 72 reported cases of heroin-related overdoses in the city since the beginning of the year. Police blame the high number on a strong strain of cheap heroin which they say is sometimes cut with the potent prescription painkiller Fentanyl.
